Someone once told me that instead of going deeper, go down on the color wheel. Mix a little purple in with the red. I really was taken with your animals painted for your daughter's wedding. You made some great choices in kinds of animals to paint!Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112630515552086897.post-26903242730082830062016-09-22T09:58:55.760-07:002016-09-22T09:58:55.760-07:00Lovely, Carol!

Your reds are just perfect. I love listening to Garrison Keillor. It was not tomatoes here that got snuck to the neighbors...it was zucchini and squash. I have even made a mock apple pie out of zucchini. It was tasty if you didn't know it was zucchini: )! Have a blessed day.

Comes right out of the painting. <br />I like the black added - sometimes using a complement when it is another dark value, can make a dirty looking color. <br />I shared the tomato story with hubby. He roared <br />laughing. Good way to start the day. juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112630515552086897.post-10275118506766843652016-09-20T06:21:47.204-07:002016-09-20T06:21:47.204-07:00Not only delicious but the colors on these tomatoe...Not only delicious but the colors on these tomatoes are brilliant!!!
